UCSF researchers found that brain cells age more quickly when they rely solely on the X chromosome inherited from a female's ...

Older female mice show poor spatial memory when their paternal X chromosome is inactive and only the maternal copy is active. This phenomenon could be responsible for variation in age-related ...

But in every cell of their body, just one X chromosome is needed—so the other is randomly inactivated. Some cells use only a maternal X chromosome; others rely only on the paternal X. Now, UC San ...

Some cells use only a maternal X chromosome; others rely only on the paternal X. Now, UC San Francisco researchers have found that when the brain cells of female mice express only a maternal X ...

In a nutshell Female cells randomly use either the maternal or paternal X chromosome—this study shows that relying more ...

The X contains more genes related to brain function than does any other chromosome. “The X chromosome may be a treasure trove ...

Some cells use only a maternal X chromosome; others rely only on the paternal X. Now, UC San Francisco researchers have found that when the brain cells of female mice express only a maternal X ...

Created with Sketch. Angelman syndrome is caused by an over-expression of paternal imprinted genes and an under-expression of maternal ones on chromosome 15. Children with this genetic disorder ...

But in every cell of their body, just one X chromosome is needed – so the other is randomly inactivated. Some cells use only a maternal X chromosome; others rely only on the paternal X. Now, UC San ...

This results in females carrying a mosaic of cells that have silenced either their paternal or maternal X chromosome. Meanwhile, males — who typically carry one X and one Y — only ever inherit ...

Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) say they have now found that when the brain cells of female mice express only a maternal X chromosome, the animals’ memory and ...

What if the X chromosome you inherited from your mother could accelerate brain aging? This intriguing question was explored by researchers at the University of California - San Francisco (UCSF), whose ...
